information obtained, DFAS submits a
claim against the estate for the amount
due the United States.
Affected Public: Clerks of Probate
Courts.
Annual Burden Hours: 167 hours.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
DFAS maintains updated debt
accounts and initiates debt collection
action for separated military members,
out-of-service civilian employees, and
other individuals not on an active
federal government payroll system.
When notice is received that an
individual is deceased, an effort is made
to ascertain whether the decedent left an
estate by contacting clerks of probate
courts. If it’s determined that an estate
was established, attempts are made to
collect the debt from the estate. If no
estate appears to have been established,
the debt is written off as uncollectible.
